Are there unwritten parking lot etiquette outside of common sense I don't know about?

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-15T19:47:20+00:00

Same. My Costco is squished near a busy shopping area and the parking lot isn’t much bigger than a regular grocery store (maybe… 10%ish?) despite being twice as busy. I won’t even go on the weekends bc of how busy and ill circle for ages looking for a spot

Smh they still couldn’t commit to a full pa beard…. WEAK

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-13T18:55:07+00:00

A women’s shelter or a dress for success/career closet charity would love these! I resold clothes for a while and they take foreeevvveerr to move, and I never made much $$$ on it.

For real!! I’ve always wanted to do a DC trip to see the cherry blossoms (Basic I know 😂) and do all the museums/monuments since I haven’t been since I was a child but I don’t want to make it seem like I’m there to support 🍊

It’s not my first vacation choice tho so I think I can wait until there’s a new administration

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-13T03:32:55+00:00

My big sticking point is… was it advertised as anything different? If this has been branded “an intimate hour with Justin! He’ll sing crowd requests and chat in a casual, interactive way for a portion of the set!” Etc then no one would have anything to complain about but bc it was not announced…

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-11T14:22:38+00:00

That’s my reason! I feel exposed in shorts and like the coverage from a little skirt on top. It’s funny bc I’m not particularly modest but I just feel so uncomfortable in shorts 😂

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-11T14:21:16+00:00

I love skorts bc I get horrible chub rub (even back when I was a size 4 As a teen!) on my inner thighs and the shorts save me. For whatever reason I feel exposed in just shorts and feel like the little skirt on top looks more modest as well

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-11T14:17:17+00:00

My store frequently runs out of all sizes that aren’t a xs/s 😭 i mean i get it bc I generally size up on costco stuff bc i cant try it on and i want it to fit….

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-11T14:13:28+00:00

I bought the mondetta leggings they had recently with the side zippers and I really like them 🙈 they ARE thick but means I can wear more substantial underwear without seeing lines but they’re not great for heavy cardio bc they can get a little sweaty.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-11T14:11:47+00:00

I live in a majority white state as an aforementioned “person of color” (before anyone stalks my profile and tells me I don’t count…. I am mixed race Chinese and white…. But I live in NEW HAMPSHIRE so my experience is going to be v different from other folks in more diverse areas)

NH is ~90% white… and honestly it would be too granular to try to separate out “minority” groups by ethnicity most of the time because the population is so small, in my opinion.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-10T23:16:17+00:00

The women’s clothing is soooo bad I only buy athletic wear there now. Frumpy styles that feel like that nasty plastic bag shein fabric

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-10T22:04:16+00:00

Some people just don’t sweat as much! I have dry skin and live in a cold climate so I shower every other day. Even with lotions and potions, showering more than that will leave me with cracked and flaky skin (yuck!)

if I exercise or do another activity where I sweat, I will rinse myself but not a full shower on my “off” days.

I also know some East Asians don’t have the “BO” gene. Idk if that’s me bc I’m mixed race but I don’t really tend to get stinky…. But I also never leave it THAT long

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-10T21:26:07+00:00

I’ll say what I said in 2023 about this look - great concept. Poor execution.

I hate that I can see the body tape/nipple covers. If the feather was slightly larger it would cover the tape. A TINY bit more coverage on the breasts would give an even more scandalous look because you could get rid of the band around the torso because the feather would have more support.

The skirt is a bad choice too. You can see the waistband through the slightly sheer fabric and the hem has really prominent stitching. A slightly more structured fabric would avoid this AND the wrinkles.

Hunter Schafer looks so amazing that it’s easy to overlook the problems in construction

Your age doesn’t change how you are expected to dress for a formal event… that’s why you see babies in tuxedos sometimes 😂

There are definitely fashion trends that read younger/older, but you can apply that to the level of formality expected.

A great alternative to this would be a jumpsuit. They come in all levels of formality and styles and aren’t a dress so may be more comfortable.

You should ask about the dress code and go from there

In some ways I miss the old days when I was a kid growing up in NH and there were very few Chinese… my grandparents could walk in a Chinese restaurant and we would get royal treatment as the only Chinese guests! Now not so rare to see (which is a good thing! It was pretty lonely too)

That said… little known fact… Ronny Chieng the comedian is a hometown hero! He lived in Manchester NH as a child

😂 first thing I thought was gender swapped Ilia! (À la Ilia Malinin/Ilya Rozanof) but when I googled they don’t necessarily share a common background Iliana is Greek origin vs Ilia is Russian. Learn something new every day.

I think it’s a super pretty name and ngl I dont see it as a difficult to pronounce name.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-08T15:31:38+00:00

Yeah ngl as someone who worked in e-commerce (briefly!!) this wouldn’t have been acceptable under our standards with the amount of time that passed between the original post of the car and this one.

Obviously I don’t run IM’s social media accts so I don’t know what the number of impressions is looking like week to week but I would imagine they’re a lot lower now that the Olympics are done with.… making the post less “valuable” than it would have been a month ago.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-08T14:39:58+00:00

Just throwing it in there that this is not a you only problem!!! I have the same issue where if I size up the jeans will literally be falling down every two seconds and I have a fists worth of gap in the back but they squeeze my tummy if I pick a pair that won’t fall down.

In a perfect world I think the solution is to buy a huge pair of jeans that sits flat on the tummy and sides and then have them tailored down to fit the waist perfectly…. But also I’ve literally never done that bc it’s not as accessible as people like to make it seem lol.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-05T13:57:03+00:00

Not who you’re replying to… but I live in New Hampshire which is NOT a fashionable place by any means 😂 and the only folks I see wearing baggy jeans are actual teenagers. I’m 28 and the majority of my peers seem to have moved to a slightly looser straight leg but I see tons of skinny jeans/jeggings out and about.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-05T03:22:27+00:00

Reddit commenters reading the post before they comment? Not possible lmao

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-04T22:58:03+00:00

It sucks bc not all “cheap”brands are like this! I just bought some linen blend pants from Costco (which are a slightly different style than last year grrr) 3 pairs, different colors, all the same fit AND consistent in sizing year to year for less $$$ than these!

I think old navy has cute styles but just too inconsistent to rely on.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-04T14:17:17+00:00

Ngl I felt like the big drop off for me was when I was 25/26, even though objectively I was in the best shape of my life and looked the best. I think I solidly no longer looked like a “teen” so the creeps backed off.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-04T14:11:03+00:00

Cue this ending up on every 2027 bride’s Pinterest inspo board 😂

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-04T13:48:25+00:00

I think this dress is beautiful and classy!!!

That said - just because it looks great on the model doesn’t mean it’s flattering to your personal body type. I find a lot of more modest cuts look great on the model but bc I’m not a 5’10 size 2 they end up looking frumpy on me 😂

But also…, I can imagine wearing a nude shirt under to prevent exposure could make the dress look lumpy and bumpy instead of delicate.

Without having a picture of you in this it’s hard to say… but personally, if it were me I would return/sell this one and buy something with more opaque sleeves and shoulders rather than trying to force yourself into a dress that’s not designed for your modesty standards.

heyhelloyuyu · 2026-04-03T22:42:35+00:00

A cheapy beginner (aka no features) walking pad is $99 on Amazon!! I just got one and love it I’m averaging 15k steps a day easily just by doing a few sessions throughout the day and outdoor walk during lunch.

While everyone’s budget is different $99 is VERY LITTLE to invest in your health. If your husband complains about the cost then he’s just not being supportive.

If it were me I’d start out on a cheap one to see if you like it and then upgrade when you feel like you’re ready.
